A corrigendum on
Iconic associations between vowel acoustics and musical patterns, and the musical protolanguage hypothesis

by Fenk-Oczlon, G. (2022). Front. Commun. 7:887739. doi: 10.3389/fcomm.2022.887739

In the published article, there was an error. The subheading under Discussion, “Vowel Intrinsic Pitch and Size-Sound Symbolism” is incorrect and it does not match the text.

A correction has been made to Discussion, paragraph 2. The subheading previously stated:

“Vowel Intrinsic Pitch and Size-Sound Symbolism”

The corrected subheading should read as below:

“Vowel Intrinsic Duration and Size-Sound Symbolism”

The author apologizes for this error and states that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
